Home | Self Improvement | Inspirational What clutter do you have in your attic or basement? Are you a "pack rat" or "collector" of stuff? Maybe you've got not just your stuff, your kid's stuff and your spouse's stuff, but the old belongings of a deceased relative that you just can't seem to part with. Are these physical items holding you back? Perhaps if you long to live a Zenlike lifestyle they are, but most likely, they're just there. Like your attic or garage, your mind stores things for you. You've got your memories and knowledge and emotions, you've got images of the best times in your life and remembrances of the sad times. We've also got some junk up there. One of the fastest ways to get rid of this junk is the act of forgiveness. In an upcoming article I'll give you some specifics on how to use forgiveness to dispose of some of this useless garbage. Forgiveness is not about making yourself a better person or making yourself right with God or working out your karma, and it's not about benefiting the person you're forgiving (those these may all be accomplished as a result). The purpose of forgiveness is to clear out what is holding you back from achieving your dreams. To clear out that part in your unconscious mind that is constantly pulling and dragging that negativity from you. The Bible says, 'By beholding we become changed.' This means, that the more you focus on, the more you are going to become what that focus is. Are you focusing on creating money or on debt? Are you focusing on health or on sickness? To focus on bitter feelings and hard knocks and tough life lessons, then that becomes a piece of us. One of the reasons we're here on planet earth, the school called earth, is to learn to understand we are in dominion, not domination, and we are able to have everything we ever wanted. Let's divide up our unconscious mind into sections and let's say that we can lump all of our troubles, our problems, our bitterness, our resentments, all into one area of our unconscious. For sake of argument, let's say we've done that now. What percentage of your unconscious is being consumed by that mental garbage? If you took it all and assigned it a value. . .a percentage, as in, well, 5% of my unconscious, or other than conscious, is taken up by this junk. How does that affect you to think of that large a chunk of your mind is engaged in negativity? What if you had to give 5% of your income to a really negative cause? I'm assuming that would not please you. When we employ the process of forgiveness, we clear out that 1 or 5 or 15% and make space for more of what we want. Coming soon: Part II--the process of forgiveness is mapped out for you. Article Source: http://www.articlewheel.com
